AOC mocks Trump tweet

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez responded by "crying with laughter" at President Donald Trump's suggestion that she feels overshadowed by other members of the female, left-leaning first-term Democrats known as the "Squad."

Trump tweeted late Friday that Reps. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota are becoming the face of the Democratic Party, adding, "Cortez (AOC) is fuming, not happy about this!"

The Trump tweet came among messages commenting on Israel's decision Friday to allow Tlaib to visit her family in the West Bank, for humanitarian reasons, a day after barring her from entering the country.

Trump said Israel was "respectful & nice" to Tlaib. He used inverted commas to refer to Tlaib's 90-year-old grandmother, Mufitya Tlaib.
